...pastel-colored test papers. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between the two groups. Other research suggests that color may, however, have an effect in other situations [1]. Mehta and Zhu (2009) have published studies that they claim clarify how red and blue differently affect performance on detail-oriented versus creative tasks with strong implications for test preparation and testing formats [2]. According to Sinclair (1998), students taking exams on blue and red paper performed more effectively on blue, especially for complex questions [3]. Whitfield and Wiltshire, in their critical review of the field, discounted the work done before 1950 because it didn’t consider even the three basic components of color (hue, value, and chrome). They also identified flaws in most subsequent research: inconsistencies in the terminology used by respondents to express preferences; lack of attention to surround color (as well as sample color); disregard of the effects of illumination; lack of discussion of size, shape, texture, and complexity of the objects used to present sample colors; and the lack of control for how the very nature of the sample objects might affect a subject’s response to the color of that object. With all these...

... Today’s youth face a different learning environment that was not as prevalent in years past. Peer in on any one of the more than 98,500 schools, and notice the difference. Public schools have morphed into more of a hangout and social hour-type atmosphere, as well as become the new “red carpet” to display the latest fashion trends. That is not all. Reported cases of drug and alcohol use, weapons brought into school, and violence and bullying have drastically increased over the years, and not just in the high schools either, but in all grade levels. As each of these problems take a seat at the head of the class, quality education breaks for recess. Although the factors attributing to the recent increases in these issues are many, one viable solution to mitigate some of the problems is for all public schools to require their students wear uniforms. Many advocates for this initiative, me included, strongly believe that mandating the wear of uniforms will reduce the alarming numbers for violent behavior and bullying, as well as alleviate any socio-economical barriers that currently exist; therefore, they will become the catalyst which brings the focus back to education within the classroom. For those parents who oppose the idea of uniforms, and who believe that mandating their child wear a uniform while attending public schools violates the First Amendment and stifles their child’s right to free expression, need to understand that they may have a longer uphill battle to wage...

...SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATION RFID Parking Garage Anthony Nichols Matthew Nichols 1.0 Introduction Finding parking spaces for automobiles and motorcycles can a problematic venture due to limited space and time, while the selling of parking spaces is potential lucrative endeavor. Currently, most large parking garages, including airport parking, use a ticketing system in which users get a time-stamped ticket when entering the structure and pay a time relative fee when exiting. The transmission of these disposable tickets is a time inefficient process susceptible to error. These tickets can easily be lost, and with the lost tickets, the entire process disoriented. The manual payment process can also be time consuming when traffic is at a high rate. An RFID parking system would improve this by allowing the user to interact with the parking area with an RFID card at the entrance and exit of the parking area. An RFID parking system would also allow the user to keep an account on which the system would keep track of financial transactions. This would reduce the amount of time the user must interact with the system and increase the security of the user. A new system to allow ease of use and increased security of parking areas is needed 1. Goals and objectives • To provide individuals who require a parking area with a system that is efficient and easy to use. • To provide individuals with a system that accounts for the length of each visit and...

...To find out ‘how accurately people can remember the details of a complex event.’ Abstract: This study is a replication of Loftus and Palmer (1974) original study on how a different verb in the question used to ask for the speed of the car affected the participants’ estimate on the speeds of the car crash. In this experiment, three videos were shown to them and they were asked a series of questions including how fast the car was when it smashed/contacted each other. The participants are teenage students from an international school in Hong Kong. It is hypothesized that the word ‘smash’ would cause a higher estimate in speed than the word ‘contacted’. Speed estimates for ‘smashed’ were in fact slower overall than ‘contacted’, a discussion on why the results were not replicated is included. The results from this experiment did not conform with the original study so they are inconclusive.

...Statistical Analysis Report on the Seismic Appraisal of Classroom Buildings in Primary and High Schools Located in Shapingba . Zhou Shuyi, Meng Fei, Guo Han (College of Civil Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing, 401331) Abstract: This paper statistically analyses the earthquake resistance capacities of 107 Classroom Buildings in 107 primary and high schools located in Chongqing's Shapingba District; it further makes an analysis of various indicators, summarizes the most serious hidden risks of the buildings, and finally provides a statistical basis for seismic design. Key Words: Classroom Buildings, Seismic Appraisal, Reinforcement . Introduction In the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, numerous buildings in the stricken area fell down, and many people died. As primary and high schools were generally located in heavily traveled high populated areas, Classroom Buildings in them were public ones with very high population density. So if a building collapsed, a considerable number of students and teachers would die and a large amount of property would be damaged. After the Earthquake, the State Council and the Ministry of Education immediately orders local governments to undertake an earthquake resistance appraisal of each building in each primary and each high school, and to take corrective measures with regard to the buildings that failed to meet the earthquake resistance standards correspondingly. In response thereto, in September 2009, the Education Committee of...
